This is by far the best slinging video on YT. Slow motion and explanations on the feel, positions of body and hand ect.
Very comprehensive.

[Ryansmith-buyh]

Very well explained, not to technical so anybody can understand and learn from it, definitely a tutorial to recommend for new slingers.

I just made the foxtail and that is a real gamechanger. Excellent content with no fluff. Thank you.

So far this is the BEST video I have found. It helped me see what I was doing wrong. Another one like this, but longer and more detailed would be great as well. Still this is the best beginner video so far....

Here is a tip for viewers. Go to settings [bottom of the youtube screen] and then select playback speed. Slow it down to 0.25 to get an even better idea of timing and form.

Whole technique is a move of the whip, from the handle to the tip in spiral way. Body and legs - handle, and wrist is a tip. One thing to add from hockey slap shot, the front foot toes must be pointed towards target at the end. And another tip from the rock climbing ladder jump training (isometric campus boarding contraction) - a better contraction can de achieved when mussels are stretched just before final contraction/burst of speed. This have to be somehow implemented here in the movement. Like open-close shoulder move hockey slap-shots are done. Thanks for your delivery of ideas.

Lovely. I hope to be able to give this activity the time it deserves in the near future.

You are clearly a superb teacher and you also appear as a most capable athlete. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. In recent weeks I have taught myself to unravel hemp rope and to weave slings in the tradition of the old school.

Best tutorial on Youtube. Explanations and slow motion were excellent. Thank you very much

[sparkyswearsalot]

Wow. Wish I could like this multiple times. I don't even know where to begin. I really appreciate all the slow motion breakdowns of the moves. Don't know of you're in the slinging group on Facebook, but you should be!

Throwing, the most natural, most magical, most deadly skill we have. ROCK on with the sling, my man! Is great fun, and nobody suspects
